< Psalms 27 >
1 BY DAVID. YHWH [is] my light and my salvation, Whom do I fear? YHWH [is] the strength of my life, Of whom am I afraid?
大衛的詩。 耶和華是我的亮光,是我的拯救, 我還怕誰呢? 耶和華是我性命的保障, 我還懼誰呢?
2 When evildoers come near to me to eat my flesh, My adversaries and my enemies to me, They have stumbled and fallen.
那作惡的就是我的仇敵, 前來吃我肉的時候就絆跌仆倒。
3 Though a host encamps against me, My heart does not fear, Though war rises up against me, In this I [am] confident.
雖有軍兵安營攻擊我,我的心也不害怕; 雖然興起刀兵攻擊我,我必仍舊安穩。
4 One [thing] I asked of YHWH—it I seek: My dwelling in the house of YHWH, All the days of my life, To look on the pleasantness of YHWH, And to inquire in His temple.
有一件事,我曾求耶和華,我仍要尋求: 就是一生一世住在耶和華的殿中, 瞻仰他的榮美,在他的殿裏求問。
5 For He hides me in a dwelling place in the day of evil, He hides me in a secret place of His tent, He raises me up on a rock.
因為我遭遇患難,他必暗暗地保守我; 在他亭子裏,把我藏在他帳幕的隱密處, 將我高舉在磐石上。
6 And now my head is lifted up, Above my enemies—my surrounders, And I sacrifice in His tent sacrifices of shouting, I sing, indeed, I sing praise to YHWH.
現在我得以昂首,高過四面的仇敵。 我要在他的帳幕裏歡然獻祭; 我要唱詩歌頌耶和華。
7 Hear, O YHWH, my voice—I call, And favor me, and answer me.
耶和華啊,我用聲音呼籲的時候,求你垂聽; 並求你憐恤我,應允我。
8 My heart said to You, “They sought my face, Your face, O YHWH, I seek.”
你說:你們當尋求我的面。 那時我心向你說:耶和華啊, 你的面我正要尋求。
9 Do not hide Your face from me, Do not turn Your servant aside in anger, You have been my help. Do not leave me, nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.
不要向我掩面。 不要發怒趕逐僕人, 你向來是幫助我的。 救我的上帝啊,不要丟掉我, 也不要離棄我。
10 When my father and my mother Have forsaken me, then YHWH gathers me.
我父母離棄我, 耶和華必收留我。
11 Show me, O YHWH, Your way, And lead me in a path of uprightness, For the sake of my beholders.
耶和華啊,求你將你的道指教我, 因我仇敵的緣故引導我走平坦的路。
12 Do not give me to the will of my adversaries, For false witnesses have risen against me, And they breathe out violence to me.
求你不要把我交給敵人,遂其所願; 因為妄作見證的和口吐凶言的,起來攻擊我。
13 I had not believed to look on the goodness of YHWH In the land of the living!
我若不信在活人之地得見耶和華的恩惠, 就早已喪膽了。
14 Look to YHWH—be strong, And He strengthens your heart, Indeed, look to YHWH!
要等候耶和華! 當壯膽,堅固你的心! 我再說,要等候耶和華!
